Chapter 7 Memory Card
7.5 Introduction to the CARD Utility
The DVP-ES3/EX3/SV3/SX3 CPU modules include SDHC slots, and you can back up and restore module data
with a memory card. DIADesigner/ISPSoft includes the CARD Utility for the DVP-ES3/EX3/SV3/SX3 CPU
modules. With this utility, you can back up and restore data in a DVP-ES3/EX3/SV3/SX3 CPU module or
backup and restore an ISPSoft project. The backup can include the program code, parameter settings,
hardware configuration, and network configuration, as well as the values in the devices in a CPU module. You
can use either ISPSoft or DIADesigner to edit DVP-ES3. But only use DIADesigner to edit
DVP-ES300TEC/EX3/SV3/SX3.
The list below describes the functions supported by the CARD Utility, including a flowchart.
If you export data from a CPU module as a backup file (*.dup), you can save the exported data in the
memory card in the module or in a folder on the computer. You can also decide whether to back up the
values in the devices in the CPU module.
If you export an ISPSoft project for a CPU module as a backup file (*.dup), you can only save the exported
ISPSoft project in a folder in the computer. You can see data such as register editing (*.dvl), device status
editing (*.dvb), file register editing (*.wft) for the CPU module as values in the device and back them up. You
can put a memory card with the backup file into the CPU module. You can copy a backup file (*.dup) saved
on the computer into the CPU module connected to the computer, or restore the backup file to an ISPSoft
project. If you choose to restore the backup file to an ISPSoft project, the system automatically skips the
values in the devices and the hardware configuration in the backup file.
If you restore the backup file (*.dup) from the PC to an ISPSoft project for a CPU module, you can also
restore data such as register editing (*.dvl), device status editing (*.dvb), and file register editing (*.wft) for
the CPU module.
Note: The CARD Utility of DIADesigner does not include project restoration.
For ISPsoft, double-click
CARD Utility
in the project management area to open the
CARD Utility
wizard. After
selecting the controller type, click “Next” to proceed.
